In the shelter’s words

Please note there is no need to complete an adoption questionnaire this adoption site. We only need our Adoption Application Questionnaire completed. April 12, 2026 Great news! Look for the following article about Marty in an upcoming issue of PAWPRINTS MAGAZINE with the before & after pictures (above): “I am MARTY. I have survived the impossible! When FURR was finally able to catch me (after a long & patient 6 weeks), I was BROKEN! FURR helped me come back to life! I was injured, feral, skin & bones, frightened, hurting & bitter. I have had 3 surgeries, medications and more love than I ever knew. My leg was broken, my eyes were infected, I wasn’t neutered, I was COVERED in fleas & anemic AND my teeth were broken, rotten or falling out. My ears were almost chewed completely off. I was BROKEN! A miracle occurred. Instead of being euthanized, FURR saw hope! I had eye surgery, neuter surgery & dental surgery. I have been made whole again & I have come to see the good in people that love me! I am fat, shiney & loving! Give me scratches and treats and the joy I will give you back is immeasurable! I am looking for that special person that wants ONE cat (ME!) since I now am the submissive kitty in the rescue. If I can now be healthy, sweet and whole again, don’t I deserve the best love out there? It’s me, ya’ll. I'm MARTY…. the broken cat that is now whole again! Text Terry at 864-483-2444 for a chance to be overwhelmed when meeting me! I just do that to people when they look at my sweet face! My scars tell a story. Let me tell YOU all about it!” March 24, 2026 Watch his new video – he is ready for adoption! A long journey but so worth it! This broken kitty is now READY for the best possible home we can find for him! Help me network for an amazing home for this beautiful rescued cat! Feb. 7, 2026 New video of Marty enjoying affection and life in general now that he’s seeing and feeling much better! Read Marty's Amazing story from Rescue through eye surgery to successful Rehab! For adoption information or to schedule a visit to the Feline Urgent Rescue & Rehab rescue facility to meet this kitty, please email FURR’s President and Founder, Terry Schultz, at adoptafurrcat@gmail.com.
